Interesting Lecture on the Habits and
Customs of English People.
Mr.. Moncure ID. Conway's appearance on
the platform at All Souls Church, corner
Fourteenth and l. streets, last night was
not greeted with the large sized audience
that was due him, but was warmly received
by those present. He brought forth his
manuscript and began his lecture. In
pleasant way he alluded to his lecture as
being based ON "England In Its year of
jubilee.n Two hours were pleasantly spent
in listening to him. There was no attempt
at platform oratory, nor any methods used
to attract the eye or ear by little tricks at
elocution, but conversational style was
used In the delivery Of the lecture.
He presented the typical English scholar
at his best, saying things In plain, straight
forward manner and handling facts without
gloves. In a graphic manner he described
the peculiarities OF the Englishman In poli-
tics, in religion, and III the professions, He
gave excellent pen portraits Of the leading
Irish and tory members Of parliament The
humblest man in England was also pictured
In all his characteristics.
In speaking or the queen OF England he
said that for quarter of century she had
lived in retirement, and her subjects had
never seen the glories OF the court since the
day her husband died, The people were
anxious for return to such splendors; 1t
meant employment to hundreds OF subjects,
and the lack OF such court displays was the
cause, In some measure, Of the poverty that
existed to day in that country. He called
Thomas Sexton the Wendell Phillips OF
Ireland when speaking OF Ireland's great
sons, and he believed that home rule would

by the tories remained to he seen, though
he believed that 1t would be done by the

"THE zoNEo OF MEXICO.

Secretary Of State Bayard has received
from Mr.. Allen, United States consul at
Piedras Negras, Mexico, description OF
the Zona Libre, which is Of interest to those
Of our merchants who are looking forward
to the extension of trade relations with the
frontier Of Mexico. The "Zona Libre," or
"Free Zone" as IL is commonly called, is
strip extending along the entire northern
frontier of the Mexican republic, fifteen
miles in width, and reaching from the west.

California. Without discussing the reasons
for its creation or for Its perDetuaton, MIR.
Allen states that its continuance is griev-
ously complained Of, and works serious
hardships to the merchant engaged In busi-
ness outside It's limits. As illustrative OF It's
injustice the consul cites an instance OF the
operations of the tariff regulations govern
ing the zone. A and B arc merchants

ness, and as an immediate result there Is not
to be found single merchant OF any recog-
nized standing within fifty miles OF the
interior limit OF the zone. The import
duties exacted are largely prohibitive and
operates peculiarly against the American
manufacturer by reason OF the fact that
those American agricultural implements
saleable In this market are subject to this
duty. There is an increasing demand for
American agricultural small tools; particu-
larly is this the case with the American

Mexico is found to be the dlstrust enter

made very few years ago, when that
popular leader, with ten OF his comrades,
was about TO have sentence OF death passed
upon him: "You may take our lives"
said Jeliaboff, "as we are assured you
intend doing but, let me inform you
judges, In the last words l may utter
publicly on earth, that the Russian
people only make two demands upon the
government-O an equitable land ar
rangement; (2) the right OF political
representation. II the emperor will make
these two concessions, or promise seriously
to consider them, we, who stand here be-
fore you, are prepared to give ample guar
antees that every nihllst in Russia will lay
down his arms" The court took no notice
Of this appeal, aud Jeliabor, with his
brave comrades, was borne to the scaHold
with all the brutal ceremonies that prevail
in the czar's domlnions.
AS intimated by the title Of this article the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is prepared to un-
dertake the task OF governing Russla-all
risks Of the job included-if the czar will
disappear and give us full control. We are
not Caesars, perhaps, or even Napoleons or
Skobeleffs, but we have learned one prln
ciple Of government which might be OF use
to the czar, and we give the snap away
without any danger Of reward, viz: The
people of q country are always to be trusted
in preference to any class. II Providence
and misfortune should seat us tomorrow
upon the throne Of the czars, with
full prcrogative, with empire aud
population undiminished, we should
1) capture the army, by Bou.
| langer's methods; (2) send the nobility
| home to their country houses, under
tutelage Of soldiers and police, who should
have strict orders to ingratiate themselves
with the peasants; (3) surround our i'm
perial and ex-edi.orial selves for time
with the ablest statesmen, jurists, aud
philosophers, to be protected by an army OF
Swiss guards, janissaries, or any other
swashbucklers prepared to go to - or
Texas for FIVE dollars, at a moments no.
tce; (4) we should have investigating
commissions sent to every province OF the
empire, and every city and town should
have its largest cathedral or other public
building thrown open as temple of JUS
tice, presided over by well paid Judges ap
pointed for life and provided with
orders to have no personal opinions
but to state precisely every fact which could
inform the government upon the condition
and requirements OF the people. We should
DO many other things which can only bt
learned in a newspaper office, but, above
all, we should trust and favor the people
and sit down severely upon the nobility
Upon the whole, then, we believe that with
our experience derived from the late re-
corder business, and other great events, we
are qualified to fix up Russia and nihilism
and when the czar is tired Of the job we
like Barkis, are always "wlllln'" to take II
oil his hands.

It told the whole story Of

until to-day, with the ex-
ception of a few minor

that the original idea has
been nearly fully accom-

has the meaning of the

THE emperor Of Germany celebrated his
90th birthday Yesterday. He is old enough
to remember the fatal battle of Jena, when
the power of Prussia was broken by the
great Napoleon. He entered Paris with the
allied armies that dethroned Napoleon, and
again at the head Of his own army, which
overthrow second Napoleon. And now,
full of years and honors, is at the head of
the greatest homogeneous empire ever
known in Europe, built up from the Prus-
sia that Napoleon conquered. Whatever
may be said against him, 1t is undoubtedly
true that the old emperor loves Germany
and the Germans, and has contributed more
than any one else to the glory of their
names. King or kaiser, he has always been
German, and his people are proud of him,
even though his rule is hard one, rejoice
at his long life, land wish him a continuance OF
1t, in which wish the NATIONAL REPUBLI-
